Banana fruit healed of AIDS

Banana fruit healed of AIDS. A number of United States origin researchers managed to find a remedy made from bananas that are capable of turning out a variety of types of viruses of which hepatitis C, flu to HIV/AIDS.

As rumored Dailymail, Monday (23/10/2015), drug discovery, published in thescientific journal Cell this is the first time since bananas are considered as potentialdrugs for people with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). The main ingredient of banana lectin calledBanLec is named.

According to the researchers, the drug being developed now called H84T is a new version of a previously BanLec has a nice side effects on the human body. But now they have found a way to minimize irritation and inflammation.

Dr. David Markovitz, a Professor of medicine at the University of Michigan told theEconomic Times that BanLec works by releasing molecules that attach to the surface of the deadly virus in the world. After the drug was locked, then the virus is no longerso the danger and thus give the immune system

However, according to this new study successful Markovitz tested in mice. And afterthe next few years will be tested against human beings. He also reminded, eatingbananas regularly does not have the same effect as this medication because BanLecalready modified by the experts.

Dr. Markovitz as Professor of Biochemistry at Duke University and Dr. Hashim Al-Hashimi mentions this medicine could overcome the shortages of antiviral work against the virus.

"We expect BanLec could be useful in emergency pandemic and tackle the cause ofthe infection of unknown origin origins," he said.

Professor of Molecular Virology at the University of Nottingham, Jonathan Ball toExpress mention of lectin had potential because they are able to bind to the sugarsfound on the surface of various viruses including HIV, influenza and Ebola. But the question today is whether the drug will be effective in humans.

More Ball says, there are many obstacles that still need to be addressed before itbecomes a new antivirus lectin. Such as the risk of immune system that make itineffective. Even so they hope this antivirus can work. ( Source Beritagar id )
